The Doc:With this week’s 600+ ton gold repatriation announcementby the Bundesbank,
Germany certainly appears to be taking Jim Willie’s advice to heart
that those who exit the USdollar system first will be the leading
nations in the next global economic chapter.By Jim Willie, GoldenJackass: The
day is nigh where the Saudis accept non-US$ payments for crude oil.
They might first accept Chinese Yuan, then Japanese Yen, then Korean
won, then Gold itself through big Turkish bazaars.The Petro-Dollar is being isolated for sunset, and what will be a key event is the removal of the USDollar as center for global trade settlement.Those
nations that depart from the entire USDollar system early will be the
leading nations in the next chapter, with stronger foundations, richer
solvency, emerging economies, healthier financial markets, efficient
credit engines, growing wealth, stronger political helm activity, and
better functioning systems generally.Those nations that stick with the crumbling USDollar system stubbornly will find a horrible fate with devastating effects,
rampant economic damage, broken financial markets, sputtering credit
engines, tremendous loss of wealth, wrecked supply lines, poverty
spreading like wildfire, ruined political structures, social disorder,
isolation from the rest of the world,and a fast ticket to the Third World.

The pound is a “sick little puppy” as it hits a 10-month low and is expected
to continue its decline, analysts warned, after UK retail unexpectedly
declined in December.

By
Rebecca Clancy: On Friday the pound fell 0.2pc against the euro to hit a ten-month low of
1.192, while it fell for the six-consecutive day against the dollar, down
0.4pc to 1.592.

"UK retail sales left their mark on sterling," said Kathleen
Brooks, research director of UK, Europe and Middle East at Forex.com.

"This [retail sales] data is not disastrous, but it does suggest the UK
consumer is cautious as we start 2013.

"The pound is definitely in the weak basket of currencies right now and
with interest rates so low and unlikely to move higher any time soon. We may
not have seen the bottom in sterling just yet."

Retail sales unexpectedly fell 0.1pc in December, dashing hopes that Christmas
shoppers would provide a last-minute lift to an economy on the verge of
another contraction.

The contraction, which also produced the slowest year-on-year growth in
December sales since 1998 – with the exception of 2010 when a harsh winter
battered trade – was driven by non-food goods, according to Office for
National Statistics' figures.
The pound has now fallen more than 2.5pc so far this year.

The US is about to treat the world to the first genetically modified meat: a mutant salmon that could wipe out wild salmon populations and threaten human health. Unless we stop it, this Frankenfish could open the floodgates for biotech meat around the world. Click below to build 1 million voices to stop it:

Avaaz:The US is about to treat the world to the first genetically modified meat: a mutant salmon that could wipe out wild salmon populations and threaten human health
-- but we can stop it now before our plates are filled with suspicious
Frankenfish.

The new fake salmon grows twice as fast as the real one, and not even scientists know its long-term health effects. Yet it’s about to be declared safe for us to eat, based on studies paid for by the company that created the GMO creature! Luckily, the US is legally required to consider public opinion before deciding.
A growing coalition of consumers, environmentalists, and fishermen is
calling on the government to trash this fishy deal. Let's urgently build
an avalanche of global support to help them win.

The consultation is happening right now and we have a real chance to keep mutant fish off the menu. Sign to stop Frankenfish and share widely -- when we reach 1 million, our call will be officially submitted to the public consultation:

AJ: In keeping with the federal government's ongoing effort to cast state
militias in a sinister light, ABC has given the go-ahead to Hollywood
darlings Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Dan McDermott to produce a "drama"
demonizing a fictional Texas militia.

Morris:We are all patsies now. Will Sandy Hook bring down Obama? Advertising is
playing its role in destabilising society! I wandered from Advertising
to Sandy Hook but maybe they are not disconnected. btw - all the ads are from contemporary London - Proof there is an onslaught on our human consciousness Source

By Wolf Richter: “Repression” is what Richard Fisher, President of the Dallas Fed,
called “the injustice of being held hostage to large financial
institutions considered ‘too big to fail.’” He sketched out the
destructive impact of these TBTF banks that, as “everyone and their
sister knows,” were “at the epicenter” of the financial crisis—“whose
owners, managers, and customers believe themselves to be exempt from the
processes of bankruptcy and creative destruction.” These banks “capture
the financial upside” of their bets but are bailed out when things go
wrong, he said, “in violation of one of the basic tenets of market
capitalism.”In his speech,
“Ending ‘Too Big to Fail’: A Proposal for Reform Before It’s Too Late,”
he offered a “simple” plan that would allow the nation to come to grips
with these banks. But in the process, he did something else: he defined
BIG.

For example, Dodd-Frank is BIG. Alone its name: Dodd–Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The congressional effort to
address the nightmare of TBTF “has clearly benefited many lawyers and
created new layers of bureaucracy,” Fisher explained. But other than
that, it “has made things worse, not better.” It has failed “to
constrain” the megabanks’ advantages. “Indeed, given its complexity”—he
later called it copious amounts of complexity—“it unwittingly exacerbates them.”

The Act’s “mumbo-jumbo” is spelled out on 848 pages, which “spawned”
8,800 additional pages of proposed regulations, with many more pages of
regulations to come.

By Richard Cottrell: Bombs in the shadow of the Parthenon, a popular opposition leader
attacked because he is ‘soft’ on terrorism, the State Department – that
renowned hero of Benghazi Gate – issuing statements on political
terrorism as a means to wreck democracy.For sure, the State Department knows all about that kind of thing,
and moreover US intelligence and the Pentagon are experts in subjecting
Greece to the rack for the best part of 50 years. Are they at it again? You bet.The US and its allies just cannot leave this poor little scrap of a country alone. In 1967, a NATO-inspired secret plan called Prometheus
was employed to overthrow the legitimate Greek government and install a
military junta composed of second rate toy soldiers who in normal
circumstances would not have been left in charge of the officers’ mess
funds.Then they spent almost five years torturing perfectly innocent people
who happened not to like their rights and freedoms snatched away by a
bunch of commonplace lackeys.Why did this happen? It happened because the US feared that an
independent-minded incoming government might turn its back on the NATO
alliance, for one thing.The US also wanted to chop up the island of Cyprus and throw a chunk
to the Turks because the president, a certain Archbishop Makarios, a
pillar of the Greek Orthodox Church, had been denounced by the Israelis
as a closet communist. A Red Cuba in the Med set the blood vessels
bursting in Washington.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
